My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed. A special thanks to Mina at the reception, who is incredibly kind, always ready to help, creates a family-like atmosphere, and coordinates everything in the hotel flawlessly. I also want to highlight Yasser from housekeeping, who made my days extra special with personalized touches and beautifully decorated beds – such attention to detail truly made my stay memorable. Everything about this hotel made me feel at home. I will definitely come back again! Highly recommended!

We had a truly amazing stay at Jaz Elite Riviera. The hotel is absolutely beautiful-modern, luxurious, and spotlessly clean. Our swim-up room was the highlight: peaceful, private, and perfect for relaxing right outside our door. The atmosphere of the entire hotel was calm and elegant, and the staff were consistently helpful, kind, and professional-always making sure we had everything we needed. We especially loved the restaurant by the pool-it became our go-to place each day. The food, the setting, and the service there made every meal feel special. Overall, it was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable stays we’ve had. We felt truly taken care of and would come back without hesitation. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, high-quality getaway.

Room and bathroom were huge and clean. Pools were beautiful and the floor anywhere around always maintained white and dry. Private beach which was perfect for snorkeling: on the right side there were amazing corals and all kinds of fish ( lion fish, stingray,puffer fish and fishes that r shiny and colorful like rainbows.) On the left side, you can find sea turtles and dugong, they come every morning. Food was fantastic, they have different bread and pastries for breakfast, lunch and dinner. customized omletts and fresh pancake for breakfast. Freshly cooked pasta, kebab and sliced beef for dinner, and a lot of other dishes.

It is obvious that SERRY has a magnificent management that appears in the details of the place and the staff who is been selected based on high criteria(it seems). It is the the first time I spent almost ten day in a hotel where I don’t face any uncomfortable feeling from any one of the staff. I can’t mention names because all the staff are heroes. In reception I can remember Abdul monaem, Fatimah Hisham. In Sofrah I can remember Ayah. Honestly all the staff. This place is piece of paradise. In sort word it is flawless. Thanks for the management because I like the success and they did it. Ibrahim 🇸🇦

One of the most appealing aspects of this lodge is its tranquil atmosphere. The property is designed in such a way that it feels like a serene oasis, away from the hustle and bustle of busy tourist spots. This was the ideal setting to unwind and enjoy some much-needed peace and quiet. The staff at Wadi Sabarah Lodge went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was exceptional. In particular, Nabil and his team at the restaurant made my dining experience truly memorable. Their warm and friendly demeanor, coupled with their attentive service, made every meal a delight. Speaking of the food, I was thrilled to discover that the lodge offers a restaurant-style dining experience instead of the typical buffet. The dishes were delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The architecture of Wadi Sabarah Lodge is absolutely stunning. The design pays homage to Egypt's rich history and culture while incorporating modern elements that make for a truly unique and visually captivating experience. My room was spacious and elegantly decorated, featuring a lovely terrace with a breathtaking sea view – the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. For book lovers and history buffs, the lodge's beautiful library is a treasure trove of knowledge. It houses an extensive collection of books on Egypt and art, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and history during their stay. Lastly, the botanic garden at Wadi Sabarah Lodge is a hidden gem. Dr. Irina, a knowledgeable specialist, oversees the garden and is always eager to share her passion for the flora and fauna found within. The garden is meticulously maintained, and walking through it feels like stepping into a verdant paradise. In conclusion, Wadi Sabarah Lodge is a truly exceptional hotel that offers guests a perfect blend of relaxation, luxury, and cultural enrichment. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and rejuvenating vacation in Egypt.

The best decision we made was booking in Reef House in Marsa Alam. Every day we had different kind of breakfast, the collaborators were great! All of them in their role, Taha, Dahi, Yahia, Mahmoud and Mustafa were very kind and helpful with us during our stay. Awesome place owned by Amr, who also became a friend. Also Zizo who was our diving teacher made the experience hard to beat! Everything is high quality when you make things with love! thank you and we wish all the best! hope we can return soon!

I stayed here for 3 days and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The rooms are clean and tidy, heating was good (this is important because we were here in winter with temperatures of 10 degrees), and the staff are so friendly and attentive. I got the package that comes with free breakfast, lunch and dinner, and this was the best decision ever. The food was so good that we ate every meal at the hotel and the dining room staff just made every meal feel like such an amazing experience. Steven Chen IG cky.steven

The dining options were equally impressive. There was a wide variety of food to choose from, catering to all tastes, so no matter what you enjoy, you’ll find something to love. Both breakfast and dinner offered a diverse selection, and everything we tried was delicious!

Rooms were freshly renovated and the cleaning service, with cleaner Ahmed, who was charged for our Room, did everything for our stay to be more comfortable. Room service and service at the pools were quick and pleasent. Big yes from us.

I love Marsa Alam and Abu Dabab most, as far as the Red Sea...

I love Marsa Alam and Abu Dabab most, as far as the Red Sea goes. My favourite place of all time is the Concorde Moreen Hotel, with the Hilton coming a strong second. We only ate at the hotels, because our time was limited. I used the taxi service offered online by Booking.com, which I found to be very efficient and reasonable. But I am also a seasoned traveller in Egypt and do not find it difficult to negotiate with taxi drivers. (It can be very useful to ask Chat GPT first what an average trip should cost you, if you are unsure, and then use that as a guideline for your negotiations.) It's an amazing experience to go out on a boat, but picking the right one can make the difference. I will be leaving my review on our experience separately (as it warrants a whole story on its own :))

Hurghada is a vibrant and captivating destination, offering...

Hurghada is a vibrant and captivating destination, offering a wonderful blend of beautiful coastline, lively atmosphere, and memorable experiences. One of the absolute highlights was El Gouna — a completely different world within the region. Modern, elegant, thoughtfully designed, and full of charm, it truly stands out as a must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Hurghada. For those seeking an authentic local experience, the Old Town provides a more traditional atmosphere. The market area can feel a bit chaotic and crowded at times, which may not suit every traveler, but it certainly offers a glimpse into the local culture for those who enjoy exploring and bargaining. The sea and diving scene in Hurghada were exceptional. With its crystal-clear waters and colorful marine life, it offers unforgettable underwater experiences — a true paradise for snorkelers and divers. We also joined a desert safari tour, where the ATV and UTV rides were exciting and well worth doing, especially for adventure lovers. However, the Bedouin village visit and the extended safari portion felt a bit tiring and may not be ideal for everyone, depending on personal preference. Overall, Hurghada delivers a rich mix of sea, sun, activities, and cultural exploration. Whether for diving, relaxation, or discovering unique corners like El Gouna, it’s a destination that offers a memorable and well-rounded experience.

"I did not leave the grounds of the Iberotel Costa Marès.

"I did not leave the grounds of the Iberotel Costa Marès. There are already so many wonderful things to do like snorkeling, diving, massages and especially the many activities offered by Captain Mahmoud's extraordinary team and the high quality shows performed in the evening. All the staff are adorable, attentive, attentive both on the beach and by the pool as well as in the various restaurants, not to mention the maintenance staff and gardeners, the cooks, the waiters (mention special for Ahzem from the main restaurant, Abd Allah at the pool restaurant, Mostafa who is part of Mahmoud's team, Hod Hod on the beach and many others of whom I don't really know the spelling of their first name. are all very courageous, with a sense of humor and kindness like I have rarely seen. Everything is put in place so that you only want to do one thing... come back as quickly as possible."
